"Da Da Da!" A machine-gun Renault F-17 tank of the Russian Red Army was firing fiercely, and two 8mm machine guns were ferociously spraying bullets, dense as if like a storm thinking about the huge target a few hundred meters ahead.

If this tank had been infantry in the face of an attack, then those infantry would have been torn to shreds. However, the target of the attack was a No. 3 tank of the Imperial Army. Heavy machine-gun bullets clanged across the armor of Tank No. 3. However, apart from leaving a white mark on the armor of the tank and knocking off some paint, there was no other result at all.

The attacked No. 3 tank came to a halt abruptly, the turret rotated slightly, and the tank gun was aimed at the machine-gun Renault F-17 tank.

"Boom!" Orange-red flames shone in the muzzle, and an armor-piercing projectile had already flown out of the muzzle. The armor-piercing shell easily tore through the armor of the Renault F-17 tank, killing the tankmen inside.

"Well done, this is already the second result of our trip." The commander said excitedly. There was only a little tank in the Russian Red Army, and when it was evenly distributed, two tanks could be assigned to one tank. However, the No. 3 tank has already achieved two successes. This also means that there are a few tanks in today's battle, and it is estimated that they will run in vain.

At this moment, the tank's armor made a 'clang' sound, and the tank shook violently. The crew members in the tank turned pale one by one.

"Damn, we were hit." The commander scolded angrily. The panic soon ended, though. Because of their tanks, it seems that there are no problems at all. They were not killed either.

"We're not penetrated, it's great, we're all alive."

"****. Find the enemy quickly and don't give them another chance to fire shells. The commander commanded loudly.

"Two o'clock direction, four hundred and twenty meters, an artillery type Renault F-17 tank."

The tank then opened fire for revenge, knocking the Renault F-17 into a pile of scrap metal.

This tank battle ended quickly. In front of the tanks of the Chinese armored forces. The tanks of the Russian Red Army were almost powerless to fight back, one after another were knocked out, and their counterattack did not have any results for the tanks of the Chinese Army.

In less than half an hour, the tanks of the Russian Red Army were completely destroyed. The armored division of the Chinese Army only lost more than a dozen tanks. Moreover, none of these tanks were destroyed, but because of a malfunction. That's when he lay down on the battlefield.

The stable performance of tanks has always been a primary problem restricting the large-scale equipment of tanks. Even tanks No. 2 and No. 3 have already been mass-produced to equip the troops. But these problems have not really been completely solved. This makes the crew members of the tank must be proficient in tank repair. Otherwise, if the tank is lying on its stomach and cannot be repaired, it will be a big trouble.

After the tank units of the Russian Red Army were eliminated, the infantry following the tanks suffered. The tanks of the 2nd Panzer Division of the Imperial Guard, began to slaughter these infantry. High-explosive shells were fired one after another. Blow these infantry to smithereens. The course machine guns continued to fire and strafe, as if they were slaughtering the infantry like wheat.

In the face of the slaughter of Chinese tank units. The infantry of the Russian Red Army collapsed instantly. They turned and fled, leaving their backs to the Imperial Army. But even so, there were still many people who were chased and killed by the tanks of the Janissary Guard's armored division. Human legs, in terms of speed, are naturally incomparable with the tracks of a tank.

There were also some bloody Soviet Russian Red Army officers and soldiers. They were holding explosives bags and wanted to die with the tanks of the Chinese army. However, the infantrymen, who had long since dismounted from the armored vehicles and followed the tanks in battle, provided good protection for the tanks. Those who try to get close to the tank. Attackers, even if they are lucky enough to avoid the machine-gun fire of the tank, will be approached by the infantry that follows.

It can be said that the whole battle was like a massacre. In addition to the tank corps of the Russian Red Army was eliminated, most of the 6th Infantry Corps, which was fighting behind the tanks, was also eliminated. Such losses, for the Soviet Russian Red Army, were almost extremely heavy.

"Order all departments, prepare to guard against the Chinese's tank attack!" Voroshilov ordered.

After the tank units of the Russian Red Army were eliminated, their defensive lines were exposed to the Chinese armored forces. As long as the Chinese armored forces want to, they can easily tear through their defenses. And the Soviet Russian Red Army, even if it arrives desperately, is estimated to be unable to resist.

However, to Voroshilov's surprise, apart from the elimination of the tank corps of the Soviet Russian Red Army and the infantry corps that followed the tanks, the armored forces of the Chinese Army did not continue to attack, but retreated. If it weren't for the corpses and the wreckage of damaged tanks littered with the battlefield, it would have been as if the Chinese Army's armored forces had never been dispatched at all.

The Chinese armored forces did not take the opportunity to attack, which made Voroshilov breathe a sigh of relief. But at the same time, there was also a hint of worry in his heart. The Chinese did not take the initiative to attack, obviously wanting to wait for the Russian Red Army to continue the offensive and continue to hit their heads in front of the strong defense line of the Chinese Army!

"Damn Chinese, do they think we are fools? Are we going to attack a position with strong fortifications and a lot of artillery and tanks? We're not stupid! Voroshilov cursed.

When Voroshilov scolded the Chinese Army for its despicability and shamelessness, General Zhao Tianwei, commander of the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army, was also a pity. If he hadn't received the order to attack, he would have been able to break through the frontal defense line of the Russian Red Army in one fell swoop with the help of the 2nd Panzer Division of the Janissaries.

General Jiang Baili did not order the 3rd Army to launch a counterattack, but had his own considerations. On the one hand, the Russian Red Army suffered heavy losses in these days of fighting. However, for the huge strength of the Soviet Russian Red Army, such losses were nothing at all. It's far from breaking your bones. When the Imperial Army was defending, it could give full play to its firepower superiority and consume the strength of the Soviet Russian Red Army with its powerful firepower. However, if the offensive is initiated, then the Imperial Army will have to attack the positions of the Soviet Russian Red Army. No matter how strong the Imperial Army is, it will definitely pay a lot of losses.

On the other hand, the Imperial Army's preparations for a counterattack were not yet complete. The 12th Army of the Imperial Army and the 1st Panzer Division of the Praetorian Guards had already reached their intended positions. However, the 6th Army was still on the way. It is expected that it will take about three days to arrive.

With three armies and two armored divisions to deal with the five armies of the Soviet Russian Red Army, the Imperial Army was undoubtedly at a complete disadvantage in terms of troops. On the frontal battlefield, it may not be difficult to defeat the Soviet Russian Red Army. However, what Admiral Jiang Baili wanted was not just to defeat, but to annihilate it completely, a complete victory. Therefore, the Imperial Army's preparations before the counterattack began.

If the Russian Red Army can lose a little more troops in the face of the strong defense line of the Imperial Army, then the Imperial Army will undoubtedly have a greater chance of eating the Russian Red Army in one bite in the counterattack.

Therefore, Admiral Jiang Baili hoped to continue to consume the living forces of the Soviet Russian Red Army before launching a counterattack. Create favorable conditions for a large-scale counterattack by the Imperial Army.

Of course, Voroshilov is not a fool either. He was also aware of this, so, after the failure of the tank army's offensive, Voroshilov ordered the Russian Red Army to begin to assemble, shrink the defensive line, strengthen the fortifications, and prepare to resist the counterattack of the Chinese army. In the face of this tactic of the Russian Red Army, General Jiang Baili ordered the Imperial Air Force to increase the intensity of air strikes against the Russian Red Army, intending to use air strikes to further consume the strength of the Russian Red Army. The Russian Red Army began to shrink, and hundreds of thousands of people gathered, which completely gave the Imperial Air Force an excellent room to play. All fighters, bombers and attack aircraft of the Imperial Air Force were involved in air strikes against the Russian Red Army. In the extreme lack of air defense countermeasures, the Soviet Russian Red Army suffered tens of thousands of losses every day under the air raids of the Imperial Air Force. In addition, a large number of war materials were destroyed in the bombing, which made the situation of the Soviet Russian Red Army more and more difficult.

"Comrade Kasnov, do you think it is necessary for us to continue the attack now?" Voroshilov said to Kasnov in frustration.

"Comrade Commander, we have nothing possible to capture Bred. On the contrary, if we continue to attack, we will only lose more troops. In the end, it was buried here. Kasnov said directly. His 7th Army was the most heavily lost. By now, more than half of it has been lost. If it weren't for the political commissar system, perhaps the army would have collapsed long ago.

Voroshilov nodded: "Before the start of the war, we thought the Chinese were too weak. As it turns out, the Chinese are stronger than we expected. This time to provoke a war with the Chinese is obviously a mistake. We should wait until we become strong before going to war with the Chinese, not now. ”

Kasnov looked at Voroshilov in horror, knowing that the decision to launch a revenge war against the Chinese was made by the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party. What Voroshilov meant just now, wasn't he questioning the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party? (To be continued.) )
